4-Day Three Night Wilderness Lodge Based Eco Tour
Add a little more adventure!
After a third night at the lodge and a leisurely breakfast, our water taxi will pick you up to paddle the outside of Glacier Island. Paddle with sea lions, explore sea caves with nesting puffins and cormorants. The exposure of the outside of Glacier Island to the Gulf of Alaska has created some of the most spectacular sea caves on the Alaska coast. This trip goes through our most likely area to see humpback whales, Dahl porpoises and orcas. We lunch at Whale Rider beach keeping a sharp eye out for krill foraging humpbacks. And while you are there the guide will tell you why it’s called Whale Rider beach! At the end of the day the water taxi will take you back to Valdez in time to catch the evening flight out of town.
